I wanna thank everyone so much who supported this story from the get go. Its been fun, not to mention smutty, and I hope to see you back next time. There will be a next time, believe me.
The last bit here is kinda porny. Sorry. Not Sorry. So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Suki had not heard him laugh in a week. She saw none of that wonderful happy man that she had spent that week with. In his place was man who was all business, who was the young strong leader that she knew him as. The only time she sat him smiled was when he looked at her. The edges of his lips would curl up every time she walked into the room, or every time that he saw her standing in thecorner, watching as a meeting was conducted. She supposed that was enough, at least she had that.
He had not really kept his promise to her about date night; she understood though. During his week and a half away from the palace a few things had happened that needed his attention. As a result he was more busy that her normally was. It also meant that she was more busy, always escorting him place to place. They talked to one another during this time, but it was always about work. He would ask her what she thought about certain policies and situations, always wanting her input.
He had even asked her to fill in for him during a meeting. It was something small, more or less a briefing on the state of social services in the nation. It had surprised Suki to hear about the amount of people who were not able to feed their own families due to the cost of goods. She asked questions, and listened to the answers, taking notes as she did so. She wanted to represent Zuko as best she could, and that that she had done a good job. When he asked her about the meeting she reported all the things that she had learned. He just smiled and nodded, thanking her for her help.
There was no talk about them though, no talk about the future, no talk about all the wonderful things that they had said the island. She understood though. She knew that the Zuko that was on that island was not the one she would get all the time. That she would only get that love on the island or in the privacy of a bedroom.
"I think that will be all for tonight." Zuko said to her while they were standing alone in his office. He looked at her with that same soft smile that he usually gave her.
She blushed and walked to him, her hands behind her back. "Would you like an escort to your room?" Her voice was casual, trying not to sound too eager. The truth of the matter is she just wanted to jump on him, ripping his clothes off.
He shook his head leaning in and placing a quick kiss on her full lips. "I think I will be ok, thank you though."
She nodded, bowing to him a little bit. "I will see you in the morning then."
He bowed to her a little bit as well, one side of his mouth raising ever so lightly into a smile.
She left the office quickly, walked back to her room in the dormitories feeling very lonesome. She did not think things would change this much, she did not think that that it would be all those things on the island never even happened.
She had to stop in the living room of the dormitory to iron out an argument between two of the girls about something or another. She did not even bother to catch what it was about, seeing as that she had other things occupying her mind. She had just told the girls to take care of things on their own, and to act like the woman of discipline that they were. It seemed to be a satisfactory answer, seeing as that the argument was then resolved.
She had taken off her Kyoshi head piece by the time she had gotten to her room. Her head felt considerably lighter without it. As she approached her door she saw a note attached to it. She reached for it and pulled it off, inspecting it closely.
Get comfortable. Come to the kitchen.
It was not sighed, it did not need to be. She would know Zuko's handwriting anyplace. Not for being scratchy or messy, but actually for being very delicate and pretty in a way.
She smiled to herself and went into her room. She stripped after removing her Kyoshi make up then slipped on a pair of black lace underpants and bra that she bad bought once she got back into the city. He had not seen these yet and she figured that he would like to. She slipped her robe over her body on top of some knee length pants, tying the sash around her waist.
She looked in her mirror and bit her lip, tucking some hair behind her ears. She could never really tell if she was pretty or not. She knew that he thought she was, but she just always felt so ordinary compared to him, compared to his life. "Perhaps I do need nicer things." She sighed and turned from her reflection, leaving the room.
She crept barefoot to the kitchen, trying to avoid the gaze of anyone that might see her. She got to the kitchen with no problem, slipping into the clean, open room.
His hair was back like it had been that one morning; in a messy bun that looked like it was about to fall apart. He was dressed in simple pants that went below his knees, a dark grey shirt and dark red vest with gold trim. He stood in front of the large stove, a few pans on the burners with steam rolling off them.
It was in that moment that she remembered how much she loved him, how beautiful he was to her.
He heard her come in and smiled at her; that same beautiful wonderful smile that she had known and fallen in love with all over again. She did not even hear him say hello to her, she was too busy running to him, her arms going around his neck and hugging him close.
He hugged her back, chuckling a little bit. "You act like you haven't seen me in weeks."
"I haven't."
He frowned heavily, "I'm sorry about that, things have just been-"
She cut him off with a kiss, her lips pressing to his like she was starving for him. He moaned into the kiss a little bit, his arms going around her waist and lifting her up into the hair.
She laughed as he did this, one of her feet popping up into the air. Her hands went to either side of his face, locking him in place as he sat her down.
His eyes went to the stove, looking at the pots and pans on the stove. He tried to pull away, needing to get to his food preparations. She just shook her head, her lips still locked with his. Now that she had him she did not want to let him go, not ever. He did manage to pull away from her though, a smile on his face. "We have all night for that." He assured her, his attention going to the food.
Her lips locked onto his cheek happily. "Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"I told you before, you are welcome to any time if you can get away." He looked over to her for a second, before looking back at what he was making. "Can you get away tonight?"
She nodded, a grin on her face. "I already am away." She kissed him on his lips again.
He pulled away, going to his task, "Come on, quit distracting me." He smirked as he said this.
She let go of him and stood next to him with a smile, looking down at the food. "What are you making?"
"Komodo rhino sausage with cabbage and rice."
"Like we had that one night?" Her chin was on his shoulder, looking up at him as her arms snaked around his waist.
He nodded, glancing over at him, "Yeah. I had them order some meat for me when we got back."
She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, melting as her lips made contact with him again. "I think it will be better than what we had."
He laughed, "I'm flattered." He motioned to the table that was in the kitchen, "Have a seat, its almost ready."
She nodded and sat down, sipping some water that was waiting for her. After a moment she was presented with a plate of food, a wide smile on his face. "For you…"
She grinned at him, "It is still so sexy when you do that."
"Cook?" He sat next to her, his own food in front of him.
"Among other things." She leaned in and kissed him quickly before turning back to her food. "I wrote Rei the other day." She took a bite of her sausage, finding that it was way better.
"Good, I would like to keep in contact with them." He nodded, eating his own food.
Suki looked back over at him as he ate his food silently. She was trying to take in every thing about him in the moment. She noted the way his mouth moved when he chewed, the angle of his eyes and most importantly the soft flush on his cheeks. "Are you watching me?"
"Yes." She answered quickly.
He looked over at her, a smile dancing across his lips. "Good." They leaned in together, pressing their lips onto one another's.
Two pairs of bare feet padded though the marble halls of the palace as Suki suppressed a giggle. If she did that they would be found out, and that would be bad. It was just the two of them for now, and they did not want anything to ruin that. It was when her hand was taken into his that a giggle did come out. He could not help but laugh a little bit too once he heard that. It was an odd thing to hear Zuko's laugh in the halls, but wonderful none the less.
He feared that someone would see him, asking something of him and pulling him away from her. They heard some guards talking down a hall and hid in a curtain covered recess until they had passed. Once he declared the coast clear he grabbed her by the hand, leading her out of the recess and down further down the hall.
They rounded the corner to the hall way that lead to his apartment, running now, still hand in hand. They approached the Kyoshi warrior who was standing guard outside the door to his bedroom, a smile on Suki's face.
"Good Evening Zuko, Suki." Ty Lee said with a smirk, bowing at the both of them.
"Hello Ty Lee." Zuko told his childhood friend in a flat voice, his eye brow arching.
"Hi." Suki's voice was a bit more playful as she clung to Zuko's arm.
"Well seeing as you already have a guard with you tonight, I will just take my leave." Ty Lee said, a large smile on her face.
"It would be preferred." Zuko told her in the same flat voice.
"I also really don't wanna hear whatever is gonna go down in that room tonight." Ty Lee said in her typical soft giggling voice.
Zuko narrowed his eyes at her, his mouth drawing into a snarl.
Ty Lee giggled happily and launched herself at them, wrapping her arms around both of their necks and hugging them. She pulled away, a huge smile on her face. "Go easy on him, or rough, which ever he asks for." She winked at Suki as she pulled away. She flipped her hair as she walked away, her hands on her hips.
"That was weird." Zuko groaned after she was out of ear shot.
Suki smiled, kissing his jaw line. "You know how she is."
"Did you tell her?" He shook a look over to her, "About us now..." His voice trailed off.
"No, but its kind of obvious." She told him, a smile on her face.
He groaned, "Great, now we have this to worry about keeping under wraps."
"Like I told you before, we don't have to do it if you don't want to."
He then smiled at her, his eyes soft. "Its worth it to me." He whispered, ushering him in the bedroom. "After you."
She let go of his arm and walked into his large bedroom, a smile on her face. She had been in there before of course, but had never slept in there. Not that there was going to be much sleeping tonight.
"I have something to show you." She cooed, her hands going to her belt on the robe.
He raised an eye brow as he sat on the bed after lighting the lamp on the bed side table, crossing his legs in front of him. "I'm intrigued."
"As you should be." She went to open her robe, but held it closed. "Now if I show you mine, you have to show me yours."
"I don't have anything nice to show though." His hands went to the sides of her robe, pulling on them.
"You are nice enough on your own." Suki batted his hands away, her hands going to his vest and unbuttoning it. "I miss your skin." He sighed passionately, leaning in and kissing her on her neck. "As apparently you missed mine." She pulled her robe apart, then pulled her pants down standing before him in nothing but her lace undergarments.
He pulled away and took a very long second to drink her up, looking over every curve, every inch of skin that he could see. A large smile danced across his face as her hands went to his hair, digging her fingers into the mop of hair at the back of his head.
"Its harder than I thought it would be." Zuko mumbled, burying his face in-between her lace clad breasts. "Seeing you all the time, never being able to touch you, to kiss you."
"Its a mutual feeling, I can assure you." Her voice tingled as his hands went around her hips, his fingers going under the lace band of her underpants. He hooked his fingers into the band and pulled them down, a smile on his face.
She shivered under his touch, biting her lip as she watched him. He moved his head to her stomach, kissing her there with a heavy moan. He pulled the lace panties down, letting them rest on her thighs before his hands went to the back of her bra. He undid it, looking up at her as she slipped it off and threw it aside.
"You know I was hoping to get more time with those."
He shook his head, "They did a wonderful job actually." His hands traveled up and down her body, "They made me want you more."
She laughed softly and pulled her lace panties down the rest of the way, letting them fall into the floor, mixing in with her robe. He just moaned a little bit, a smile on his face as he looked her over.
"Now I told you, you have to show me yours." She pulled away from him, only to have him lock his hands on her hips.
"I'd rather you just look sexy and beautiful." He pulled her close to him, pressing his face into her stomach, kissing it with a smile on his face.
Suki rolled her eyes and grabbed him by the shoulders, pushing him down to the bed. "Stop teasing me."
He laughed, looking up at her as her hands went to his pants. He laced his hands behind his head, watching her as she undid them, pulling them down. She smiled at his erection, her body heating up at seeing him excited. Without hesitation she leaned down, taking him into her hand and kissing his tip.
Zuko breathed harshly at the sudden contact, a smile spreading across his face. She laughed at his reaction, "We should do this in your office."
He laughed a little bit, "That would be bad."
"Which is why we should do it." She slipped hip tip in her mouth, rolling her tongue over his soft pulsating skin.
He smiled with a sign, "I know that I can't protest; that you will just get me to do it anyways."
She gave him a muffled laugh and she pressed him into her mouth, her nose burying into his soft but course black hair. He closed his eyes and let the pleasure envelop him as she slid on and off him. He tried to think about not only the pleasure, but about the breathtaking, naked, woman who was doing this to him. He had missed her so much this week, and the fact that she was here now, pleasing him in the most personal and intimate of ways was taking him to a new level of pleasure.
His hand went down to her hair, his fingers digging into her scalp. He clenched his eyes tight as he focused on everything that she was doing, on each movement of her lounge and twitch of her lips. It was making him melt, it was making his entire body burn with a fire he had never felt before.
It was the best orgasm he ever had.
Zuko's back arched, sending his head back. His mouth opened up and he exhaled sharply, a stream of fire flowing from his lips as he did so. Suki felt the explosion of bitterness in her mouth, the amount of it and the flash from the fire taking her by surprise. The majority of him flowed out of her mouth, onto her lips and chin. She moaned none the less, digging her nails into his thighs through his pants.
She pulled off him, wiping his come off with her hand. She felt a little embarrassed and looked away, her face red. She looked at Zuko who was panting on the bed above her, his arms limp beside him and his eyes closed. She climbed onto the bed, hovering over him. "Are you ok?"
He sighed and opened his eyes. "Yeah." He breathed, "I just never thought a climax could feel so good."
Suki laughed a little bit, reaching out and rubbing his cheek. "I'm glad I proved you wrong. Did I make you breathe fire?" She leaned down and kissed him on the lips, moaning as he kissed her back weakly, nodding.
"That was fun." He sighed, pulling away from her.
With her help he sat up, pulling his shirt and pants off. They sat in bed together, just looking at one another in the low light that was dancing across the room. His gaze raked her body, a smile dancing across his face.
"Is this what life is going be like?" Her hands went to his strong chest, a soft smile on her face.
"What do you mean?"
"Being married, being able to be with one another all the time. To hold hands, to kiss in front of whoever, whenever we want and not have to worry about anything." He smiled softly at her as she talked, "Making love at night and in the morning, in this room, in this bed. Drinking tea and having children." She smiled to herself, looking his face over. "And I can see you whenever I want, and will do so every day. And even when I don't feel like looking at you, I will still see and I will still love it, and love you. It will be just you and I… us… forever."
Zuko nodded, reaching out and holding the side of her face. "That's the plan."
Suki reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close into an embrace. He wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly.
"I'm certain now more than ever that you are the one; that that is the life that I want." He was speaking into her ear, his breath hot on her skin. It melted her very soul and sent a shiver down her spine.
"Yes; I will marry you."
He chuckled a little bit, pulling away from her a little bit. "That was not my proposal."
"I know." She looked into his golden eyes, burning like the very sun that he got his power from, "You don't have to ask though, cause you already know my answer."
"I still wanna ask." Zuko laughed, lifting himself up and rolling on top of her. She laid down on the bed, looking up at him as he hovered over her. Her hands went to his cheeks, holding them.
"I'm waiting."
He laughed and leaned down, kissing her tenderly as he held her closer, laying on top of her. She wrapped her legs around him, crossing her heels and locking him in place. "You really are waiting, aren't you?" he breathed into her lips.
"As long as I need to."
"Patiently?"
She laughed, pulling his hair out of the bun at the back on his skull. "I will for some things."
"And others?"
She answered him by crashing her lips into his, pulling on his hair as she locked him into place. He felt his excitement grow yet again as he pressed himself down on her. Suki's legs spread to make room for him, letting him lay close to her. Zuko reached down and took himself into his hand, sliding himself into her.
She moaned deeply, arching her neck back as he pressed into her. His lips went to her neck, kissing the underside of her chin tenderly. Her knees spread further, her hips pressing up to his. She had waited a week for this and wanted the most of him that she could get.
"I fucking love you." She groaned, her hands traveling over his strong back.
He looked at her, a smile on his face as he started to move his hips against hers, his hands on the bed next to her waist. She cried out a little bit, his cock stretching her out in ways that made her skin craw with passion for him. He looked at her and raised his eye brow in surprise.
She quaked in pleasure, her eyes heavy as she looked at him. He smiled at her, sitting up and pulling out of her. She wined a little bit, reaching out for him, "I need you." She cried out.
"I know." He whispered, pulling her off the bed and to her feet. Her lips went to his, pressing their bodies together. He pulled away after a long, aching moment, leaving her whimpering and asking for more. He took his hands that were on her waist and turned her around so that her back was so him. His lips went to her shoulders, mumbling her name as she arched her hips into his erection.
"Please Zuko." He just nodded with a little bit of a groan, sitting back down on the bed and pulling her with him. He scooted onto the bed, his hands still around her waist. She slid with him, her hands on his shins. He helped her back onto his erection, his lips sliding over her back. Her feet digging into the bed gave her the leverage to move up and down on him, giving her control over how his body pleased her.
Her head rolled to the side, her hair falling into her face as his hand traveled down in-between her legs. Suki cried out in pleasure as his finger tip made contact with her eager clitoris. He just laughed a little bit, his lips still on her skin and his free arm around her waist.
She felt her body unzip as her climax over took her. She yelled his name as loud as she could, her hand grabbing his legs and digging her nails into his skin. He closed his eyes and bit her shoulder softly, feeling his own pleasure explode inside of her.
Suki rocked her hips on and off her love a few more times, his finger still absentmindedly stroking her, sending shockwaves though her sensitive flesh. He withdrew his hand from her finally, giving her relief as she panted in his arms. He held her around her waist, kissing her shoulders and back as he mumbled inaudible words to her.
She licked her lips, flipping her hair out of her face as her hands went on top of his. "That was new." She breathed, looking back at him for a moment.
"You are not the only one who thinks about sex now." He pulled out from under her, sliding out of her. He laid down on the bed, pulling her with him. She scooted off and laid next to him as he placed kissed all over her face.
She giggled happily, her limbs heavy as her heart rate returned to normal. Her hands went to his arms, rubbing him there. "I love you so much." She told him, kissing him softly.
Zuko just smiled as he left his lips lingering on her chin, his eyes getting heavy. She saw his eyes close over and sat up. He opened his eyes, watching her as she moved away from him.
Suki crawled to the head of the bed, pulling back the blanket and sleets. "Come on." She told him, climbing under the bedding. He sat up and crawled to him, joining her under the covers. His lips went to hers as he wrapped his arms around her and pulling her close.
"My love..." Zuko whispered, his lips clumsy on hers.
Her hands went though his hair as her knees went to his hips. She watched him close his eyes, his face still near hers. She reached out and ran her fingers over the red mark on the left side of his face, making her entire body sigh with an emotion that she could not quite place.
That was what it was like being with him after all. She could not put exact words to it; and only know it for the undeniable pleasure that it infused her very existence.
She loved him. Her breathtaking, amazing, perfect Fire Lord.
